Half link chains are a stupid idea, they always have been. I really don't understand why people think they're so great. They stretch way faster than a normal chain, cost way more than a normal chain, in general just cause more problems than a normal chain.

This isn't news. Half link chains have always sucked and always will suck

The best chain in my opinion is a KMC 510HX. Wippermans are good too, but they're pricey and usually over kill.

do you grind on your drive side by any chance?

i snap a lot of chains but i think its something to do with me grinding on my drive side, i bought my odyssey v3/hazard lite wheel before i started grinding so i didnt know i needed a LHD Facepalm i snap chains because i end up grinding on them at the back cause i dont have a hub guard that fits over my driver

i run a basic KMC Kool chain at the moment not too sure the models or whatever but is nice and thick, i only got it put on the other day because i was sick of snapping these cheapie chains and im gonna see how this lasts

my mate has a fit chain that came on his complete, and that is the thickest chain ive seen, it looks like some kind of motorbike chain

Dude i dont want to listen to your shit. I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT NO HALFLINK. i had a shadow half link, i also had a stolen half link, there apsolutly shit, so dont tell me there good. and yes my pegs are on my right, and my drive is left hand drive.

im looking to order a new chain, but i dont understand what all the 1/8, 3,5 or whatever it is, is all about, i ride a united squad sprocket, with a proper hub if that helps, can someone explain please.

im looking at the wippermann chain, £22 is alot of money for a chain, but if it stops my problem then i will consider buying it. Also some people say it doesnt fit on a 9t driver?

Or a 710. I've always been a fan of the 710's. But yeah, high five Mike.
